One client gained incremental value from their procurement activities. Another, a global systems integrator, built a veteran team of ERP resources for a mission critical project. A third was able to bring in their own team for an ERP upgrade. These are but a few examples of how The Coddington Group has successfully partnered with clients to develop businessbuilding, IT and Procurement recruiting solutions.
The Annapolis-based Coddington Group is an information technology staffing firm focused on delivering technology professionals on a contract or permanent hire basis to commercial, emerging growth and global systems integrators on a local and national level. The company focuses on the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Enterprise Applications Integration (EAI) technology spaces, and has, just recently, successfully added Procurement/Supply Chain staff members that specialize in purchasing, contracts, logistics, sourcing and negotiations.
Unlike traditional IT staffing firms, Coddington Group is higly specialized. “We want to be known as a trusted partner for ERP, EAI and Strategic Procurement talent that serves the local market while offering the national staffing capabilities that our clients often demand,” says Jason Coddington, Founder and CEO. This focus has resulted in
explosive growth since the firm’s founding in 2004 and is evident in the recently-added Procurement Consulting service offering. “We now offer a suite of services that includes augmentation of current staff, support/lead strategic procurement activities and function creation/rationalization,” describes Coddington.
Both ERP and EAI are highly specialized information technology disciplines. In brief, ERP is the consolidation of an organization’s data and processes into a single unified system utilizing packages such as SAP, Oracle/PeopleSoft, Lawson and JD Edwards. EAI is the practice of aligning an organization’s current and/or future structure, processes, information systems and personnel with its core goals and strategic direction. EAI tools in use today include WBI, Netweaver, XI, MQ Series, SeeBeyond, Tibco, Vitria and WebMethods. The result is an organization that is streamlined, efficient and more productive.
It’s a complex process made simple by years of recruiting experience and expertise. With decades of collective experience, The Coddington Group can staff a variety of IT positions/roles ranging from management individuals with more than 10 years of lifecycle experience, to functional and technical individuals with package specific implementation knowledge to developers and testers. These individuals are highly sought after and the perfect match between IT professional and position is challenging.
The company achieves this perfect match every time utilizing a rigorous process that includes defining requirements, searching and screening, technical assessments and a “cultural match”. “We strive for an environment of innovation and continuous improvement amongst ourselves and our clients. We know the value of partnering with a firm that has the proper knowledge of the current market and trends—one that appreciates the importance of the right professional match. In today’s enterprise, identifying, attracting, and retaining key talent is more art than science,” says Coddington.
For this reason, it is critical to have the right talent on board. “No matter how large or small the company, what inevitably separates the average staffing firm from the very best is its people,”
continues Coddingtion. “At The Coddington Group, we hire only the industry’s best. Every day, we work to better ourselves so that we can better serve our clients. Our growth proves that this strategy is
working well for us—and our clients.” |
